1/28/2023 – In an earlier episode, Svitlana taught us the King's Indian Defence. Today, we will learn all the basics about the King's Indian Attack, which is a universal setup, similar to the London System. This also means that the attack can be easily played against standard openings, like the Sicilian, the French, or the Caro-Kann. Svitlana explains, using a Bobby Fischer game, how to win against the French Defence with this interesting opening.
